In contrast with all the other reviews, I found this movie good. I am not a movies critic nor I have eye for the issues the others pointed out, I just look for an atmosphere that makes me feel tense and scared. I did have one moment or two I had goosebumps, and that is what I look for too. In this aspect, this movie is indeed good.
What I judge on a good paranormal movie is how simple the activities are. For instance, the tennis balls being thrown back at the guys, a camera falling and the weird malfunctioning of them as well. A yell, a bump, a noise, a door slamming, and so on. This movie has plenty of those and I like it. Mixing all of them with the atmosphere of that school and I have a good result. Along with these the creepy moments when people are staring at the nowhere and hitting their heads against the blackboard complements all this by giving the sensation of imminent danger.
What came as a bit of a bummer for me was the opposite of these "simple" activities. The "Amanda" written in the mirror and the guy being dragged to below the bathroom door and simply disappearing is simply nonsense, ir should be at least dead with his head in the toilet like when they found the medium guy hanged, at least he was still there. But I believe it's only these. The rest are good enough for me.
